Glastonbury Death: Man Found Dead In Portable Toilet In VIP Area At Festival, Police Confirm | UK News | Sky News

 

A key member of Prime Minister David Cameron's constituency team has been found dead in a portable toilet in the backstage area of the Glastonbury festival.

 

 

Police sealed off part of the VIP area after the discovery

 

 

Christopher Shale, chairman of West Oxfordshire Conservative Association, was discovered by officers shortly after 9am today, Avon and Somerset Police said.

 

Mr Shale helps run Mr Cameron's Witney constituency office and is in his 50s.

 

Sources believe he suffered a heart attack.

 

A distraught woman, staying in the backstage area between the Pyramid and Other stages, was seen being comforted by officers this morning.

 

Detectives have yet to establish the cause of his death, a source said.

 

A police cordon, guarded by at least eight officers, was put up around the backstage shower and toilet area.

 

 

 

Coldplay headlined the festival on Saturday night

 

 

The camping area where festival production teams and some performers stay was also blocked off.

 

A host of celebrities were staying within the cordoned off area. Wayne and Coleen Rooney were understood to have been camping in a nearby luxury RV.

 

Revellers reacted with shock at the news of the man's death.

 

Tom Waite, 35, from Cheddar, was among those staying in the VIP area. He said: "It's just awful for his family."

 

Security has been heightened in the area for the arrival of American megastar Beyonce, who will bring the music extravaganza to a close.

 

 

 

Pulp made a surprise appearance on the Park Stage

 

 

Sources confirmed the American singer required tighter security than was planned for U2 and Coldplay.

 

Queens of the Stone Age, Plan B and Paul Simon also feature on the bill as the festival ends.

 

Coldplay had their third headline outing on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night, and yesterday also saw the return of Pulp to Worthy Farm in a surprise set at the Park Stage.

 

After three days of relentless rain, revellers at the sodden 900-acre site have been soaking up the sunshine with temperatures set to exceed 25C on Sunday.

Bah, was hoping this was about Thatcher.

[rory]

pulp did a surprise set, wow

[Anubis]

I'm not sure what is more embarrassing - dying on a portaloo, or being a Troy in your 50's and trying to mingle at Glastonbury. That smacks of Alastair Campbell's trip to a Britney Spears concert.

 

You're only going to get away with going to Glastonbury when you're over 50 if you look like Sean Connery in Medicine Man.

 

 

[Bubble]

I heard something on the radio while I was still half asleep about David Cameron's aides and being found dead. Sadly, it's turned out to not be the story I was hoping for...

Near enough?

 

[navbasi]

The Rooney's living in a nearby caravan.. Hahaha... Just like the good old days before he became a footballer I bet!

[navbasi]

Is that Thatcher cunt ever going to die?

[RoboRiise]

Reuters have Michael Eavis saying it was a suicide. I know the shitters are bad news at Glasto but I wouldn't have thought the VIP area would be that bad.

 

PILTON, England | Sun Jun 26, 2011 2:49pm BST

 

PILTON, England (Reuters) - A member of the Conservative Party has died at the Glastonbury music festival, the festival's founder Michael Eavis said on Sunday.

 

Prime Minister David Cameron paid tribute to Christopher Shale, chairman of West Oxfordshire Conservative Association and a friend of Cameron and his wife Samantha.

 

"Sam and I were devastated to hear the news about Christopher," he said in a statement.

 

"He was a great friend and has been a huge support over the last decade in west Oxfordshire. A big rock in my life has suddenly been rolled away."

 

Eavis told reporters that while the cause of death was not confirmed, he understood it to be a suicide.

 

"It is a personal situation and it looks like suicide at the moment," Eavis said on the last day of the Glastonbury music festival, which is held most years on his Worthy Farm.

 

Inspector Chris Morgan of Avon and Somerset Police said they were still trying to establish the cause of death.

 

The man was found in a portable toilet in a backstage area where the upmarket accommodation is located.

Still, at least he was fortunate enough to miss Coldplay's set.

[Guest davelfc]

It didn't come as a big surprise, someone there with him said he was looking a bit flushed earlier in the day.

[Lucky Pierre]

Were Pulp any good? Going to see them in Leeds and expecting big from them.

"A host of celebrities were staying within the cordoned off area. Wayne and Coleen Rooney were understood to have been camping in a nearby luxury RV."

 

Another little part of me just died when I read that. Oxygen thieving cunts the pair of them. Also, not related in any way to the story, merely a chance for Sky to plaster his name about. Again. I seriously want that cunt to suffer a career ending injury just so we can stop having him rammed down our throats at every opportunity. Perhaps he could even die. Maybe. Someone asked me last night what I'd think if Chris Moyles was killed in a car crash. My answer was "nothing". I wouldn't think anything. I just wouldn't particularly care and I feel pretty much the same about that hair transplanted, overrated, granny shagging, potato-faced inbred. Just fuck off and die or something and stop me from seeing your rancid, chavvy little name everywhere.

Simply beautiful.

 

I can FEEL your anger.

 

 

I often get accused of being a moaner, but the sad fact of the matter is there's a lot to moan about. If 99.9% of popular culture, politics, and indeed people weren't shit - there wouldn't be a problem.

Just as I posted that I switched over to catch erstwhile X Factor fruit Joe McElderry murdering Nessun Dorma on 'pop star to opera star' and receiving a standing ovation.

There are times when I feel your distain for parts of society is misguided.

 

Bur this is one time I cannot argue with your point of view.

Just all the hallmarks for an archetypal cunt. I bet he wears a rugby shirt and has big teeth.

Laughing my head off. Someone rep this man, I cant as I must have done so recently.

What's with the wankerish tags on this thread? There's a lot of it about lately, usually involving our great pal SilverShiting

[Strontium]

Silverlining doesn't want to let sleeping dogs lie (¬¬) and feels it appropriate to keep negging me with tiresome jibes about dogsex and adding tags to threads.

I haven't tagged this thread, or indeed the one about Dave's Dinner, or the "Bell Or Bellend" one or actually any of the numerous recently added dog-fucking tags.

 

Sorry to disappoint you, but I think some other people find it amusing also.
